Protecting yourself from Jelsoft

[Scaper123]

were do i put the .htaccess in my forums folder?
or just in the filer manager?

 

[absinth]

Just put where you installed vbulletin in root dir .htaccess

 

[WiRED]

If your forum directory is /forum/, then you just place the .htaccess file in that directory.


Cheers,

192.168.1.101 is a local IP, not an external IP.. Trying to be funny are you?

I just got it from my hotmail.. he mailed me some 3 or 4 months back when my forums got caught for using nulled vb..

I have no ideas about these ips though lol..

i saw one day of the year - (admins and I will decide) every single member here spams the vbulletin.com site. This is the message:

"Fuck your software - Fuck Pirate Report"

lol

were do i put the .htaccess in my forums folder?
or just in the filer manager?

i think it must be on the home dir
not on forum dir only
so they can't acsess all
do am i right???​

 

[robert00693]

i have a problem, when i upload the .htaccess to my forum dir it dont stay, like i never uploaded it. My hosting is 1&1. Anyone else here with this problem?

 

[Skivey]

refresh your ftp folder or log oout and back in. If your using windows ftp wizzard thats normally the case.

I found Steve Machol very personable and a decent guy.

When I posted on the official VB forum, Steve was the first to answer my question, and very quickly as well.

I just love my forum too much to get caught running it with a "nulled" version of the software.

So I ditzed it and went legit.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*jelsoft\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*piratereports\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*vbulletin\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

# Add your deny from IP addresses here

You should understand that this is a bandaid solution with a really easy workaround. Jelsoft has a virtual army of zealots that they can recruit with IP addresses and domains that don't look anything at all like any of the above. A simple email request to any of them would get a verification that you are running vbulletin.

FYI

I found my .htaccess file
but it only had it in

deny from all

So I just pasted your code into the bottom..

BUt I refreshed the page, and saw that mailgate.piratereport.com was still there but only had activity 15 minutes ago.
So when they try and have more activity, it will kick them off?

cheers for the info, dont want to get caught out yet do we...

 

[ananas7777]

i understand how to do all of this but i don't really know where's this .htaccess file cuz i didn't find it in my forum folder or my website root folder
do i have to create a new one? if yes, where would i put it in my website?

 

[ashish]

you can see the .htaccess file when you access your server from a ftp client, just edit the file from there... it will be at the root or where your forum resides

 

[ananas7777]

thx alot mate for that

 

[Grinderhand]

No, he's right. Unless you created one or installed a mod that has one as part of the mod (VBSEO & VBSEO Sitemap Generator, for instance), there is no .htaccess file included in a standard vB install. You have to create one if you don't have one.

[Grinderhand]

You should put it in your forum root.
